Sub-Components

List all sub-components part of this release. Activities related to sub-components must be in sync with the overall release.

Sub-components are repositories and are consolidated in a single centralized place. Edit the Resources and Repositories (Deprecated) in the centralized page.


ONAP Dependencies

List the other ONAP projects you depend on.


DCAE depends on the the following components as part of the general ONAP architecture:

  • AAI: DCAE MS retrieves and updates VNF data from/to AAI
  • DMaaP: Message bus for communication with other components in the solution
  • Policy/CLAMP - Policy - For managing application configuration policy. CLAMP - For CL flow related MS instantiation and configuration
  • OOF - For SON handler support

Architecture

High level architecture diagram

At that stage within the Release, the team is expected to provide more Architecture details describing how the functional modules are interacting.

Indicate where your project fit within the Amsterdam architecture diagram_1.0.0.pptx.

Block and sequence diagrams showing relation within the project as well as relation with external components are expected.

Anyone reading this section should have a good understanding of all the interacting modules.

With Cloudify 3.x support releated by Cloudify under 5.1.1, DCAE CM pod upgrade is targetted for H release. This will be major upgrade requiring extensive regression. For any issues identified - may need to coordinate with Cloudify which could span beyond H release timeframe

Based on severity of issue - we'll assess if new continairs can be released for H release or if need to be withheld.None

Other Information

    • Vendor Neutral

If this project is coming from an existing proprietary codebase, ensure that all proprietary trademarks, logos, product names, etc. have been removed. All ONAP deliverables must comply with this rule and be agnostic of any proprietary symbols.

    • Free and Open Source Software

FOSS activities are critical to the delivery of the whole ONAP initiative. The information may not be fully available at Release Planning, however to avoid late refactoring, it is critical to accomplish this task as early as possible. List all third party Free and Open Source Software used within the release and provide License type (BSD, MIT, Apache, GNU GPL,... ). In the case non Apache License are found inform immediately the TSC and the Release Manager and document your reasoning on why you believe we can use a non Apache version 2 license.

Each project must edit its project table available at Project FOSS.
